Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Very nice! The only thing that I would change is to replace the BBC with a 5.9 cummins. Your mileage would be easily doubled. Oh well, it is still a very nice truck! I can't wait to see it painted.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Cant wait to see the pics when you are finished. I am currently gathering my budget to build a crew cab out of my 71 K20, so picks of a finished version including a lift kit like I plan will help my wife see what it will look like....which of course will help my budget crisis significantly! I plan to do the same rear doors like you did that have the radiused upper corner, so it looks original. As a body/paint guy myself, I have great respect for anyone that takes on a project like this! Unfortunately, I have to start from the beginning!

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
I am trying to decide whether I should chrome the grill hoops and headlight bezels or use the painted ones. I know which way is cheaper.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
I agree with Kevin. The chrome powdercoat does look good.

Man that truck is going to be awesome! I say go with chrome, it'll just help set it off.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Looking good. I think chrome would look better but I don't think blue would look bad.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
I was going to chrome mine but just found a set of nice NOS hoops. I think that the grille hoops and headlight bezels should match the hood and eyebrow trim instead of the bumper. If it was all chromed then it would look very sweeet.
I have a nice steel set for sale now if needed.
